I love to write stories so I keep doing it, whether it brings me fame and fortune or not. (Spoiler alert: it doesn’t, but that's okay).

I have a blog, too.

Pest Control
“Hey, you!” Zach suddenly realised it was a lone living cockroach standing up on his hind legs on the carpet. He stared at it in disbelief.

Mountain
The climb requires will, but when you reach the summit the world is afoot.

Mercury
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I can only guess how many screams have been voided into silence, unheard, around Delta 17. And I wonder, more with every passing moment, if my voice will be swallowed into that number.

The Time Before Dragons
“There weren’t always dragons in the valley.” This was the last thing my sister Brenna had said to me before she disappeared. Before everything I knew about the world started to unravel.

Lucky Ducks
“Let’s get an ice cream!” said Jill brightly, in a desperate attempt to distract her children’s attention away from the pond.

I was dead when they pulled me from the water, according to all witnesses. For more than fifteen minutes I had seemed to disappear without a trace.

Pigeon Lady
“It’s not right.” Nan said. The homeless ‘pigeon lady’ was across the park, communing with her feathery kin. She had fished out a half eaten packet of salt and vinegar crisps from the rubbish bin, and was breaking up the pieces, then sprinkling them like fairy dust out to her frenzied flock.

Pear Shaped
“He cut her tree down out of spite.” declared Phoebe. Even as the words came out of her mouth, she could imagine her father dismissing her accusation as teenage drama. The way he lately dismissed so much of what she had to say.
